Well, it's nice if a US citizen would have that opinion... but I'm not a US citizen and I would prefer the Internet to not be under US government control.

Imagine if it was the Chinese government that was in control, or (for the sake of argument) the British or French government. Would you be ok with that?



Like I said, I don't mind the US giving up control, just so long as that control does not go to the UN.


I (and many people) are in favor of give control to the ones less likely to corrupt/change it; unfourtunaly we dont know who that is so is better to stick with the one already in control to avoid surprises.


Better the devil you know.
